Facebook's picture sharing app Instagram is updating its "Explore" section to add video channels that will appear in a feed according to users' preferences.

The feature will have a personalized channel called "videos you might like" that will collect videos from across Instagram's global community and also will include a "Featured" column highlighting videos on specific topics, Instagram said.

For now, the upgrade will only be available in the United States, Instagram said on Thursday. Instagram version 7.20 is available on Apple's App Store and Google Play.

Last month, Instagram introduced a new notification tab to its website. The new feature allows users to see pictures and also check in on who has liked or commented on their pictures recently.

The new feature is an addition to the main tabs from the mobile version, and goes a long way to making Instagram's website a bit more usable. All those pictures look better when they're on a bigger screen, too.

Several people ET spoke with about Ericsson’s India operations, including its current and former employees, said the Stockholm-based firm has reduced headcount in the last one year or so across functions, in line with its global restructuring.
